SILRES® BS 1052

Insulation Materials

• SILRES® BS 1052 has to be stirred well before use. A moderate stirring equipment running at medium speed is sufficient – high shear force and air entrainment are not necessary and must be avoided.
• SILRES® BS 1052 is applied via spraying equipment after the fiberizer. For this purpose it can be diluted with any quantity of water. If the glass or stone wool substrate is a resin-bound material, after compatibility test SILRES® BS 1052 is mixed with the resin mixture and the mixture is sprayed onto the wool.
• It can also be sprayed separately without mixing using a second spraying equipment. Based on the glass or stone fiber mass the addition ratio varies between 0,05 and 0,2 weight % for stone wool and 0,1 and 0,3 weight % (always based on the weight of the dried final product) for glass wool.
• The quantity of SILRES® BS 1052 to be applied also depends on the desired water repellency of the end product given. Individual tests must always be conducted in order to define the necessary quantities.
• For Blowing Wool an overdosage of silicone emulsion can lead to a change in consistancy of the wool which might lead to blocked injectors in the end application of the blowing wool.

SILRES® BS 1052 shows high thermal stability. Due to its viscosity in the medium range it is well pumpable and dilutable despite its high solids content.
